Answer 1

By Euler's formular

$ e^{j \omega} = cos( \omega) + i*sin( \omega) $

hence,

$ \left| e^{j \omega} \right| = \left|cos( \omega) + i*sin( \omega) \right| = \sqrt{cos^2( \omega) + sin^2( \omega)} = 1 $

Answer 2

becasue: $ e^{jx} =cos(x)+ jsin(x) $

$ | e^{j \omega}|=|cos(\omega) + i*sin(\omega)|=\sqrt{cos(\omega)^2 +sin(\omega)^2}=1 $
